If I install this release (devKitARM12), and then drop in Mr.Mirkos SDK (as per the tutorials), is that all I need to get a working cross-compiler on windows, or will I just break everything that works at the moment

Aslo, does this have the 'new floating point lib' purported to speed up floating point ops (software) by 12 to 20 times??

pea: It's a MacOS toolchain, so best you don't install it on windows!

gcc version 3.4.0 was the first to have the new floating-point library, and it's the standard, so 3.4.4 will definitely have it. For details, have a look at the gcc website

Hey Rob,

Thanks for the reply. However, I believe Mr.Spiv has the MacOS version on his site. If you follow the links here, you will find a windows version (exe installer and all).

DevKitARM release 12 for windows is near the top, under 'candidates'. What is a candidate anyway?

EDIT: Not watching shortland street, Rob

EDIT2: From gcc website

Nicolas Pitre has contributed his hand-coded floating-point support code for ARM. It is both significantly smaller and faster than the existing C-based implementation, even when building applications for Thumb. The arm-elf configuration has been converted to use the new code.

Hooray!

'candidate' means they think it's releasable, but may still have issues<_<

Another name for a Beta, then :rolleyes:

pea: err, sorry about that! I saw the news post about spiv's MacOSX conversion of DevKitARM and thought everyone was talking about that

I don't use windows, so I have no idea how it works...

Has anyone tried the automated script by mrmirko for compiling gcc, newlib and binutils on msys?
I tried it on linux and it was able to compile gcc.4.0.0 without any problems.
But it failed in windows/msys environment.
BTW is there anything new in gcc-4.0.0?

lots of broken things, kde blacklisted it thanks to wrong code bugs.

the automated script provided by mrmirko is broken (some options are incorrect for an ARM toochain). There are a number of problems building 4.0.0 under msys but the devkitPro scripts work well for 3.4.4.

devkitPro may update to 4.0.1 if it proves stable.
